    The bond-order conservation method was used to study the catalytic decomposition of N2H4. Variation in the activation energy, E, of the most relevant steps was calculated as a function of the enthalpy of adsorption of N, QN, between 0 and 1250 kJmol-1. Results suggest that below QN = 520 kJmol-1 the catalytic decomposition of N2H4 produces mostly N2 and H2. Above QN = 520 kJmol-1, NH3 and N2 are the main products. Near QN = 520 kJmol-1 N2, H2 and NH3 are obtained, in agreement with experimental results on different metals
